The NLA is a multi-corporate accelerator with a focus on the broader logistics industry. Supported by a number of the city’s well renowned traditional logistic companies - among which are Helm, Fr. Meyer’s Sohn, Jungheinrich, Rhenus Logistics and Cremer - the program aims at accelerating growth for the participating start-ups through mentoring, specific training, market entrance options, testing fields and financial support.

The program kicked-off in November already with an introduction in front of the investing partners and first training sessions on pitching and company presentation. Until April 2019, trainings on B2B sales & marketing, VC financing and tech strategy will follow.

The ecosystem provided by the NLA will help Closelink to achieve its next goals: generating growth through sales & product development and further expanding along the value chain in the marine procurement industry.
